we went the beginning of August. we'd previously been here in April and it was great. awesome prime rib, great pasta, great staff. we went back to get primerib and the pasta. no prime rib, no blue cheese, no sun dried pasta, no new York straps. it might have been easier to say what they had. our server had to leave shortly after we ordered to get mozzarella cheese. wth is going on? food was average. the steaks were good, everyone else was disappointed. two weeks later they've changed the name of the restaurant. that probably explains a lot.

The bacon cheeseburger pizza is phenomenal, and the fries are very good too. Service was good for carryout, although their online ordering system has no option to add cheese to a hamburger and they failed to fulfill the request for cheese in the comments. A cheeseburger shouldn't be hard to get, it's not a weird request. But they happily corrected the problem in person and overall it was fantastic.

Awesome dinner experience. Went to Dinner by myself as I was in town traveling for work. Staff was very friendly and down to earth. Pacing of the meal was great—I had my appetizer, salad, meal, etc all timed out very well. Food was fantastic. Calamari strips were the best I’ve ever had by far. The ribeye I ordered was cooked perfectly at a true medium rare—usually I ask for rare expecting medium rare and end up getting medium well. Only complaint is erratic hours. I tried to go there yesterday when they listed as as open but they were closed. I am definitely planning on eating there again tomorrow.

The lasagna was excellent. I had prime rib one night and I was not impressed. A bunch of us where there for lunch on the weekend and all lunch entree's were very good.

This was our second visit. Service is good. Onion rings are good. Atmosphere is pleasant, but the food is just average for the price. I've had scallops both times. A little tough and gritty. Salads overflow the small bowls they're served in. My husband's steak de burgo was tough. We won't go back.

I live in Grimes, and I drive by often, when was the Radish I had a pretty Good experience. So today Thursday I stopped in because their sign says happy hour Thursday Friday until 4:30, it was 4:00 p.m. the door was locked I walked away and it looked like a cook came out today I'll open the door for you I went in some guy was sitting there I looked like maybe a worker... And then the young lady behind the bar said no we don't do that anymore but maybe we can get your drink. I said n ah I think I'm going to leave!

Always wanted to try this restaurant. So we did. We had a party of five. No reservation. They accommodated our party. Interior of restaurant is remodeled. It's fine. Most seating is booth seating. We had two tables put together. We ordered steaks. Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Steak Deburgo. My niece ordered seafood pasta Alfredo. Steaks were very good quality and served perfectly. Pasta dish was excellent. Sides were Brussels sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. Both very good. Prices are a little steep, but that's not out of line for the quality. Wine list was poor. Woodbridge wine. We brought our own. Corkage fees are $15 per bottle. Friendly staff. We'll go back.

we have been several times and have not been disappointed until now. I ordered the ribeye steak sandwich, medium rare. it came well done. my husband had the prime rib sandwich that also came well done rather than medium rare. our friends both had chicken dishes and the chicken was very dry. not sure if there was a different chef on Monday night but it was not good.

Ehh. Ordered a full rack of ribs and they were some of the worst I’ve ever had. Tasted like ketchup. Felt bad for the new guy so I gave him a 25 dollar tip on a 70 dollar bill. Wife and I both agreed to leave town for dinner next time. Her only comment was it was way too bright, dim the lights. Probably won’t be back unfortunately

Had dinner at CROWN this past Saturday. Our waitress was excellent to start. It's always a good start to dinner to have an attentive waitress. I had 8oz Prime Rib. It was cooked to Med perfectly w /side of baked potato and nice fresh salad w/delicious raspberry vinaigrette. My friend had pasta w/same side salad and garlic toast. Both were delicious.

Do not order the calamari if you are a seafood fan. The calamari itself tasted like rubber duck, but the breading was on point! Hubby ordered full rack of of ribs, But should have ordered a 16th rack of ribs. They were dry and the sauce tasted like ketchup. Plenty of entertainment from the daycare on the other side of the restaurant. Ordered mashed potatoes, they were out of the box. No flavor super dry. Steak was almost good. Brussel sprouts were pretty decent. Overall fun place to dine in if you like entertainment from the hostess playing hide and go seek with the children in the restaurant. Also may I add The lighting in there is pretty stark. Felt like I was at my office working.

I am not one to leave reviews typically but this must be shared . ordered lunch today...have ordered a few times before this particular sandwich. ordered the food , picked it up and it ended up being the wrong order . we call back ( no biggie) let them know and the girl was very rude from the start saying we needed to come back up to get the correct order...after I repeated the order for the second time we wait another 20 minutes to go back . go back up there and they still hadn't even started on the order asking me for the 3rd time what I want.. then proceeds to tell me I ordered it wrong the first 2 times and that it is my fault.....? overall the issue was not the food was wrong the first or second time but the front lady is extremely RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL and should not be in customer service.
